Heh, that would be cool.

I retract (most of) my comment.  start(end)swith is certainly not an obvious name for something that can also do random 
substring comparisons.

Personally, I do search the docs when looking for functionality I don't know about.  As there is no obvious substring 
method I would check the docs for all the string methods to see if any of them had any thing close to, or exactly, what 
I needed.

But, hey, maybe that's just me.  :)
